1 What condition did the Russian client have on arriving at Foxy M.D?
The Russian client visited Foxy M.D during a trip to Da Nang with sagging facial muscles, deep smile lines, and forehead wrinkles. The goal was skin rejuvenation without surgery and without losing many days to downtime.
According to the Foxy M.D fanpage, this was a case of aging with two components at once: the soft tissue of the cheeks had descended, deepening the nasolabial folds, and forehead wrinkles had become more visible as the connective tissue thinned. European skin is often fair, thin, and heavily exposed to sun and wind, so signs of sagging can appear earlier and more noticeably.
Tourists also have two extra requirements: a short recovery so they can continue their itinerary, and results they can see during their stay. That is why a thread lift was considered instead of methods that take several months to show clearly. The photo below was shared by Foxy M.D on its fanpage and is for illustration only; results vary from person to person.

2 How did the doctor perform the rejuvenating thread lift?
The doctor examined the client, marked the lifting directions, and then inserted self-dissolving biological collagen threads under the skin with three goals: lifting the sagging cheeks, softening the smile lines and forehead wrinkles, and stimulating the skin to produce new collagen.
The shared treatment plan had three lines of action, each addressing one part of the aging picture:
The procedure usually includes these steps: examination and photos, cleansing, numbing, marking the entry points, inserting the threads with a fine needle or cannula, and then checking that both sides are balanced. According to the menu, a rejuvenating thread lift takes about 45–60 minutes and a lifting thread lift about 60–90 minutes. The lift is visible right at the clinic; the collagen effect keeps improving over the following weeks. What it feels like is described in detail in our article does a facial thread lift hurt.
1. Lifting sagging tissue
The threads are placed along lifting vectors to pull the cheeks and mouth corners into a more youthful position, giving the face a neater contour.
2. Softening smile lines and forehead lines
Reduces the depth of the nasolabial folds and forehead wrinkles while keeping natural expressions, without making the face look stiff.
3. Collagen stimulation
While dissolving, the threads stimulate the skin to produce collagen and elastin, making the skin gradually firmer and thicker.
3 Is a rejuvenating thread lift worth it?
A rejuvenating thread lift is a good option for people with mild to moderate sagging who want to see an immediate lift and recover quickly without surgery. Its limits are that results last about 1–2 years and it cannot replace surgery when there is a lot of excess skin.
The answer depends on what you expect. The table below summarizes the strengths and limits so you can compare them with your own condition:
The question "is a facial lifting thread lift worth it" has a similar answer: it works well with the right indication, the right type of thread, and a practitioner with a solid grasp of anatomy. Most complications come from choosing the wrong candidate or having it done at a place without proper medical conditions, not from the method itself. How long each type of thread lasts is analyzed in our article how long a collagen thread lift lasts.
| Aspect | Strengths | Limits to know |
|---|---|---|
| Results | Visible lift right after the procedure, with further improvement thanks to collagen | The effect gradually decreases as the threads dissolve; lasts about 1–2 years |
| Invasiveness | Only a fine needle or cannula is used, no incisions | Still an invasive procedure; swelling and bruising may last a few days |
| Recovery | Light activities right away; usually back to work after 1–2 days | Avoid opening the mouth wide and firm massage for the first 1–2 weeks |
| Candidates | Mild to moderate sagging, smile lines, wrinkles | Severe sagging or a lot of excess skin: surgery should be considered |
| Risks | Usually mild and temporary when the doctor uses the correct technique | Visible threads, asymmetry, or skin dimpling if placed in the wrong layer or with poor aftercare |
4 How do rejuvenating and lifting thread lifts differ?
A rejuvenating thread lift uses many fine PDO threads woven in the superficial layer to improve firmness and wrinkles. A lifting thread lift uses collagen threads anchored to support points to lift sagging tissue more visibly.
In practice, the doctor may combine both: lifting threads provide pull in the cheek area, while rejuvenating threads improve the skin surface. The Russian client's case also needed both support and wrinkle softening. Details of each technique are in our article PDO rejuvenating thread lift and the pillar article facial lifting thread lift.
| Criteria | Rejuvenating thread lift | Lifting thread lift |
|---|---|---|
| Material per menu | PDO (Polydioxanone) threads | Biological collagen threads |
| How it works | Woven as a mesh in the superficial layer, stimulates collagen | Anchored to support points, lifts sagging areas |
| Suitable for | Skin starting to loosen, fine wrinkles, thin skin | Drooping cheeks, deep smile lines, sagging jawline |
| Procedure time | 45–60 minutes | 60–90 minutes |
| Menu price | White from $63, Elasty from $87 for 10 threads | White from $63, Elasty from $87 per thread |
| Maintenance | 1–2 years depending on the individual and the type of thread | 1–2 years depending on the individual and the type of thread |

6 Who should and shouldn't get a rejuvenating thread lift?
A thread lift suits people from around age 30 with mild to moderate laxity, smile lines, and wrinkles who want to avoid surgery. It should not be done during pregnancy, with facial skin infections, bleeding disorders, or very severe sagging.
Aftercare for a thread lift: apply gentle cold compresses for the first 24–48 hours, sleep on your back, avoid opening your mouth too wide, avoid massaging or squeezing the face firmly for about 2 weeks, and keep the needle points clean. If you notice increasing pain, red, hot swelling, a thread end you can feel, or clear asymmetry, contact your doctor for an early check.
Good candidates
Mild to moderate drooping cheeks, visible nasolabial folds, a less defined jawline, thin skin lacking firmness.
Consider carefully

Not recommended
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, skin infection, severe inflamed acne in the treatment area, uncontrolled bleeding disorders.

10 Frequently asked questions
1. Is a thread lift worth it?
A thread lift works well for people with mild to moderate sagging, smile lines, and wrinkles who want to see an immediate lift without surgery. Results last about 1–2 years depending on the individual and the type of thread. The method is not suitable for significant excess skin or severe sagging; in that case the doctor will advise a more suitable option.
2. Is a facial lifting thread lift worth it?
A facial lifting thread lift uses collagen threads anchored to support points to lift the cheeks, mouth corners, and jawline. Results are good when the indication is right and the doctor has a solid grasp of anatomy. Risks such as visible threads, asymmetry, or skin dimpling are usually related to technique and aftercare, so choose a medical facility with doctors.
3. How long does a thread lift last?
According to the Foxy M.D menu, a thread lift lasts about 1–2 years depending on the individual and the type of thread. The threads dissolve gradually and, during that time, stimulate the skin to produce collagen, so some firmness remains even after the threads have dissolved. Sun protection, enough sleep, and avoiding sudden weight changes help results last longer.
4. Does a thread lift hurt?
The treatment area is numbed beforehand, so most people only feel tightness, pressure, and mild pricking as the threads are inserted. Once the numbing wears off, there may be soreness and mild swelling for a few days, especially when chewing or opening the mouth. The doctor will advise cold compresses and common pain relievers if needed.
5. Does a thread lift leave scars or cause complications?
The needles and cannulas used to insert the threads are very small, so the entry points usually heal within a few days and rarely leave marks. Swelling, bruising, or slight asymmetry may occur in the early stage. Complications such as infection or visible threads are less common and are usually related to technique, sterility, and aftercare.
6. Can tourists go sightseeing after a thread lift?
Most clients can do light activities, go for walks, and eat normally on the same day. However, avoid swimming in the sea or pools, saunas, diving, and strenuous exercise for the first few days, and limit opening your mouth wide. Ideally, schedule the treatment early in your trip so you have time for a follow-up with the doctor before flying home.
